What about the 3000? Can you use non-Epson ink carts? What are some
optional preferences?
Also, I'm curious if anyone could answer my original question
regarding the trade-off between more nozzles on the 4-color machines
vs. less nozzles on the 6-color machine? See that portion of question
re-posted below. Thanks.
1) Printer choices: Epson 1270 ($500); Epson 1520 ($500); Epson 3000
($1300)
I notice the 1270 is 6-color, while the other 2 are 4-color; yet the
4-color machines are 64 nozzle, compared to 48 nozzle on the 1270.
Herein lies my confusion. Is there a trade-off in color (6 vs. 4) for
resolution (more nozzles, 64 vs. 48)? I like the idea of producing
large prints on the machine (the 1270 in fact touts a 13"x44"
panoramic. Does anyone know of any reason to choose the more
expensive 3000 model (which I have purchase approval on), or 64
nozzle vs. 48?
